New Best Buy Sale, they have this drive for $149 with a $50 MIR. The same basics of this thread apply if you can get Staples to do it, but they've been killing PMs lately. If you pulled this off, you could get these drives for ~$75-$85 with coupons (get 2 and use $50 off $200, get 1 and use $15 off $75 or $20 off 100). I got mine already, but someone should try this
This is not an advertised sale, so you would need the CSR to call your local B&M.

*****YMMV: See Edit 3 below*****
Here's the deal folks, Best Buy has the Maxtor 120GB 8MB HDD on sale starting today for $119 after $60 MIR. Staples carries the Ultra for $179 with no MIR. As we all know, Staples will price match rebates if they have no competing rebate of their own, which is the case here.
Take your 110% of $60 PM and apply a $15 off $75 or $20/$30 off $100 coupon and you can get this baby for $82/$92/$97 + TAX. FREE SHIPPING THROUGH 12/28/02!!!!
BB simply advertises 120GB Maxtor, but we know Maxtor has been phasing out the 2MB versions without changing the pricing on either the 2MB or the 8MB. The reason this deal is *confirmed* to work is BB's website has both the 8MB and the 2MB for the same price. When price matching online, refer to THIS LINK ONLY!!!!. If you don't, they could possibly argue it is a different model. Call, go B&M, through an online CSR, whatever floats your boat. DO NOT LET THEM TRY AND CHARGE YOU SHIPPING AS THIS IS BOTH AN ONLINE AND B&M OFFER FROM BB!!!
Good Luck and Merry X-Mas

Edit: This deal is in the B&M post-X-mas flyer effective beginning 12/26/02, so this is NOT online only. The ad lists 2 SKUs, presumably for both the 2MB and 8MB versions. Make Staples check your local B&M before giving up!
Edit 2: If you need assistance please be discrete about it and use the forums features. Thanks.
Edit 3: This has turned into a YMMV as it seems Staples Corporate has stepped in and squashed this deal. Might wanna try again tomorrow as the 80GB Staples deal appeared dead after 1 day, but was revived the next day. Also, you may have better luck at your B&M.
